Menu Plan & Fitness Recap {10/9}

Hey there!! Well, we survived Hurricane Matthew. We decided to stay since it wasn't forecasted to be that bad. To be honest, at 3:00 am this morning, I was seriously regretting our decision to stay. You see, it was my first hurricane. I've lived here for 11 years and this is my first experience with a hurricane.

When you're in bed and hearing all of the loud noises outside, but can't see what they are, it's pretty nerve-wrecking. It's not much easier with the intense winds and rain in the daylight, but at least you know what's causing it.

Anyway, needless to say, this emotional eater was eating until her heart's content all weekend. So, it's time to get it back under control.

On a completely different note, I was able to hold Crow Pose today. I've been doing Yoga for years, but just.couldnt.get.it. I'm not sure what changed today, but I held it. Sure, it was only for a few swords, but it's definitely a start!! Ok, ok, on with the plan...

Here's what I have planned for the week:

Menu Plan:

Sunday - Dinner with my parents

Monday - Grilled Hamburgers

Tuesday - Chicken & Cheese Ravioli

Wednesday - Brinner

Thursday - Leftovers

Friday - Grilled Chicken Sausages

Saturday - Chicken Cordon Bleu

Fitness Recap: 

I was happy to get my long run in on Sunday, but my body definitely isn't conditioned for it right now and my legs and feet pod the price for it for a couple of days. Definitely hoping to get more consistent with my running!!

Sunday - 10.5 mile run

Monday - PiYo Sweat + Core de Force MMA

Tuesday - Upper Fix Extreme

Wednesday - Lower Fix Extreme

Thursday - Yoga Fix

Friday - 4.5 mile run

Saturday - Half & Half Harder

I hope you all have a great week! So long for today...

Weekly Menu Plan & Fitness Recap {8/28}

Hey there!! How has your weekend been? We've had a busy but very nice one so far. Last night I was able to catch up with an old high school friend that loves a couple of hours away. It was so nice to get together, but I was up way past my bedtime and didn't sleep very well. Needless to say, this morning's run took everything I had!

My cleanse is kicking off Monday morning. I'm trying to prepare for it with meal planning/food prep and mentally as well. Clean eating is definitely worth it, but not always easy! Having everything planned out and prepped ahead of time is something I've found to be key to success!!

Here's what I have planned for this week:

Menu Plan:

Sunday - Grilled Turkey Brats

Monday - Turkey Crockpot Chili

Tuesday - Crockpot Salsa Chicken

Wednesday - Grilled Turkey Patties

Thursday - Leftovers

Friday - Chicken & Cabbage Stir Fry

Saturday - Kebab-a-palozza

Hey guys! Can't you believe that August starts Monday?! This summer is FLYING by! I can't believe that school starts here in a couple of weeks. So crazy! Before you know it, pumpkin spiced everything will be popping up all over the place again.

Anyway, I hope you're having a great weekend! Ours has been so busy and absolutely exhausting!! We are shopping for a new truck for TC and I absolutely hate it!! I think I would just about do anything else except this. Seriously. I felt like I needed a shower after we got home! 

We are headed out of town camping next weekend, so my meal plan is in the air for a couple of days and I won't be able to get my run in on Saturday and probably not Sunday morning either. So, my August miles probably won't be looking that good. #runnerproblems

Menu Plan:

Sunday - Grilled Hamburgers

Monday - Grilled Swai

Tuesday - Turkey Tacos

Wednesday - Crockpot Beef Roast

Thursday - Leftovers

Friday - Dinner on the way out of town
